Aristo'xenus

（*)Aristo/cenos), a Greek physician, quoted by Caelius Aurelianus (De Moro. Acut. 3.16, p. 233), who was a pupil of Alexander Philalethes (Galen. De Differ. Puls. 4.10, vol. viii. p. 746), and must therefore have lived about the beginning of the Christian era.
He was a follower of Herophilus (ibid. 100.7. p. 734), and studied at the celebrated Herophilean school of medicine, established in Phrygia, at the village of Men-Carus, between Laodicea and Carura.
He wrote a work Περὶτῆς῾ΠοφίλουΑἱρέσεως, De Herophili Secta, of which the thirteenth book is quoted by Galen (ibid. 100.10. p. 746), and which is not now extant. (Mahne, "Diatribe de Aristoxeno," Amstel. 1793, 8vo.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
